Re: \"Dusty Corners\" 9-21-5 part 3

It is good but not highly distinctive since it fits squarely in a Scots Highland tradition. It is like a lightish Highland whisky, not sherry-oriented, but rather honey-scented with pleasing standard distilled barkey malt flavours. Somewhat like, say, Strathisla, or Balvenie. Or maybe the Perthshire malts are a better analogy. Nice whisky but very much a specialty and not within the Canadian tradition of rye/corn distillation. It can be compared to the St. George or McCarthy distillations, it is working in that type of segment.

Re: \"Dusty Corners\" 9-21-5 part 3

That's quite interesting, that is a flavor profile I quite like, as far as SMSW is concerned, being a fan of the Lowlands and several of the Perthshire whiskies, though none of these will ever replace my fav SMSW, Highland Park.

Re: \"Dusty Corners\" 9-21-5 part 3

It is still being made, for sure. That company, in Nova Scotia in Cape Breton, also bottles other spirits including some Canadian whisky for Hirsch (that Hirsch gets around ).

The one you posted Doug is either no. 2 or 3. No. 1 was 40% abv, nos. 2&amp;3, 43%. Technically there may not be a no. 3 but I heard that the current one is older than the 43% introduced a few years ago to replace the 40%. I'll try to get more information although there is a Glenora website I know, maybe the information is there. It's a nice whiskey with a heather/honey top note. They don't used peated malt. The price in Ontario is about $85 (CDN). For that price many people may prefer to buy Macallan 12 year old or Distiller's Edition of Talisker but again, it is a specialty and I can understand they have to ask good money for it.

Which bottling did you have, Gary? I've had reports that the early bottlings were absolute dreck, with some improvement in later issues.
Here's the distillery's website, by the way:http://www.glenoradistillery.com/

Re: \"Dusty Corners\" 9-21-5 part 3

Tim, I've had both the original 40% version and the 43% upon issuance a few years ago. Both met the taste profile I described. I haven't had it in about 3 or 4 years and I understand the current 43% is older (makes sense) than when first issued, which may make for a better palate. I'll seek it out and deliver a taste report.
